Operation: Find the Shittiest Deal on MyBeerCellar.com

[kscaldef]

I just ordered two tires and shipping was $26 ($13/tire) and this ******** wants $16 to ship a bomber.

Yeah, so blame UPS/Fedex for that. As an infrequent, individual shipper that's actually about right, particularly once you add in the cost of packing materials. For me to send a 1lb package to myself, it costs $10. A 3lb cross-country shipment is $13.50.

Yeah, some accounts get much better rates, but if you're just some schmoe who sends a handful of packages a month, the baseline cost of a shipment is in the neighborhood of $10-12.

(Also lots of online retailers, probably including your tire place, play games with pricing so that shipping isn't as much of a shock when you get to checkout. I know, I work for one.)

The online homebrew supply market being a great example, especially when some of them had various flat-rate shipping prices. It was actually kind of annoying because it made it so hard to price comparison shop.

Yep, Before finding the shop that works best for me I would build complete shopping carts and go through check out right up to paying so I could see shipping cost. The ones that advertise free, cheap, or flat rate shipping typically had the most expensive products. The store I go with has some of the highest shipping rates, but everything else is a great value so overall it works out to the best deal.

He probably saw this one:

This sold, huh?...Not sure if srs: https://www.mybeercellar.com/?itm=22296

or did he think it was 3x?

and figured that if some sucker will pay $80 for a 2010, another one (or maybe the same one) will pay $75 for a 2012.

But it's collectable!

No, the bad part is that you consider an Evil Twin beer delicious.

Maybe I was just drunk by the end of it, but Bozo beer is the best beer I've had from ET *shrug*

That ullage would be completely unacceptable for any other beverage. However, some idiot is going to buy this...

At least he is kind enough to cover shipping.

It was stored in a cellar since purchase whenever the hell that was and who knows it was stored before. Well besides being opened and recorked possibly.

Most likely stored in his 50-60 degree cellar since purchase last month when the other 5 of these I've seen appeared. He isn't wrong...

Yeah, what's with that? Some old Belgian dude die recently?

 

[SeaWatchman]

Having drank several Cantillons from the 70's and early-mid 80's I can only say that anyone who is considering buying one of these is a complete idiot and deserves to be mocked. Like that guy who talked about it in the Lambic Lovers FB group who said that "many times beer is about the story, and not about the taste" and then went on to say that it wasn't really a gueuze anymore, then compared the sweetness to that of Sherry (thatsthejoke.jpg)

The only way I'd consider a bottle like that is if JVR himself went and fetched it out of the cellar to hand to me personally.

Lol, did that happen recently? Don't want to spend too long digging through that group's archives.

Yeah it should be near the top. Just find a picture with one of those old bottles in it and scroll through the convo

$2500 for Sede Vacante, V013, 2013 DDG, and Cable car kriek. So i have seen CCK go for around $800 on there several times. now this guy thinks V013, DDG and Sede Vacante are worth about $566 a piece. insane

Nothing like a 1000% margin. Even the most corrupt 'legal' money lenders rape people like that.

 

[mrk_d]

I can (sort of) understand buying one bottle for the tick if you don't feel like trading for it, but $800 on quantity DDG?
